Removing a twig from an image

[jdlittle]

hello---took the picture this morning and wondering how I might remove the twig effectively from the bird (a western tanager)? Any ideas appreciated!! (I use PE 5 and LR)

I used the clone tool & the healing brush.Just zoom in & take samples from the bird next to the twig.Then clone over the twig.Used the healing brush for touch up.
